The distinction between "our culture" and "foreign cultures" was institutionally established in Europe when the first ethnological museum opened in the second half of the 19th century. This distinction continues to live on inside and outside the museum, unfolding its socio-political relevance especially at a time when as many people are searching refuge as rarely before. The exhibition "fremd" raises the question of modes of display in ethnological museums and their effects. Which image of the "foreign/er" is constructed? What does it mean to present "foreign cultures" as having no history? Which position and stance do "we" , as spectators, take in the face of the museum's display? Taking this questioning as a starting point, the exhibition will provide the opportunity not only to discuss the function and future of the ethnological museum but also of the notion of "the foreign" as such.
The exhibition was featured in the German television news service Tagesschau and can be viewed online here.

During summer term 2015, the Institute of Anthropology and the Institute for African Studies will co-host a lecture series titled "Dimensons of Agency: Entrepreneurship in Business, Culture and Governance".In recent years, the figure of the entrepreneur has become ubiquitous in many discourses. Entrepreneurship is no longer limited to economic activities, but encompasses competences and practices in many fields. There are cultural entrepreneurs, identity entrepreneurs, norm entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs and violence entrepreneurs, to name but a few. In this lecture series, we aim at critically exploring the surge in "entrepreneurship" and its relevance for the study of social processes in the Global South. Are these new modes of entrepreneurship really new or are they new labels for agency and actors that have long been observed by anthropologists, such as for instance Big Men, development brokers or identity managers? Is the popularity of the label "entrepreneur" a consequence of neoliberal ideologies of self-management? Is "entrepreneurship" useful as a heuristic device for studying particular forms of agency? What distinguishes entrepreneurship from other forms of agency?We will welcome renowned German scholars as well as eminent scholars from abroad such as Richard Wolf (Harvard University), Jutta Bakonyi (Durham University) and Richard Pfeilstetter (University of Seville). Lectures will take place weekly from the 13th of April until the 13th of June 2015, on Mondays from 5 until 7pm in Lecture Hall 6 of the University of Leipzig, Universitätsstr. 3 (except on public holidays).

15 Celebrities That You Forgot Committed Horrible Crimes!
Given the immense talent of some of the world's most famous and beloved actors, it can be easy to forget that these men and women are human, and therefore are flawed just like the rest of us. Yet some are little more flawed than others, and have done heinous things in their past that contradict their more "polished" roles on the screen. Here are some shocking crimes committed by some of the world's most famous actors.
1. Will Smith – Assault
Even though so many of his vibrant, friendly, and lovable on-screen characters suggest otherwise, the superstar actor Will Smith actually has a dark and violent past. In 1989, when he was only 20, the actor was part of a group of men that viciously assaulted a man—leaving him almost blind.
Although he was able to avoid jail time because the charges were dropped, he remembers the night he spent in jail as being the "worst night of his life." And to make matters worse, he was apparently woken up constantly in jail by inmates who wanted an autograph from the budding star.
Sometimes it takes a dark and despicable act to see the light, which is apparently what happened to Smith, since by all accounts he now lives a happy, peaceful life.
2. Mark Wahlberg – Drugs, Assault
It's no coincidence that Wahlberg often plays violent, mean, and somewhat disturbed characters. The actor has an incredibly violent and dark past, starting in his early youth. Once he reached the age of just thirteen, Wahlberg had already had several run-ins with the Boston Police (reportedly around 24 total), many of which were for drug-related crimes.
While addicted to a range of drugs including cocaine, Wahlberg seemed unwilling or unable to alter his violent behavior, and when he reached fifteen he was charged in two separate instances of throwing rocks at African American school children while shouting racial slurs.
Things seemed to only get worse for Wahlberg. When he was sixteen, he and a group of teens were charged with attempted murder after they assaulted two Vietnamese men by beating them over the head with a stick. Somehow, the troubled actor managed to serve only forty-five days out of a two-year sentence.
3. Mike Tyson – Rape
Although he's one of the most famous fighters of all time, Mike Tyson is almost equally as famed for the whirlwind of controversy that seems to surround him at all times. One such controversy was his arrest for the rape of Desiree Washington (who was just eighteen at the time) in Indianapolis.
Washington claimed that Tyson had made advances in his limo after inviting her to a party. Then, Washington claimed that Tyson raped her in his hotel room before the party even began. This story was substantiated in part by the testimony of Tyson's chauffeur, who confirmed for the court that Washington was indeed in a state of shock when she fled from Tyson's hotel.
Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison and four years probation, although he was released after having served less than three years. Tyson reportedly used his time behind bars to convert to Islam.
4. Tim Allen – Drug Trafficking
Born Tim Allen Dick, this famed actor—known best for his role in the hit television show Home Improvement as well as characters in Toy Story and The Santa Clause trilogy—has a reputation of being a wholesome, family man on television. Millions of children and adults alike have looked up to Allen as a source of moral purity and kindness.
The man behind the characters he plays, however, is a bit darker. In October of 1978, Allen pled guilty to drug trafficking and was sentenced to a lifetime behind bars. However he received a substantial deal from the judge, who offered to reduce his sentence to just 3-7 years if Allen would disclose the other names of the dealers involved in the drug ring.
After accepting the deal, Allen was paroled after serving just over two years in prison. Not a bad deal taking into account he was originally supposed to spend his life behind bars.
Allen didn't seem to appreciate his good fortune though, since he was arrested again in 1997 for a DUI charge in Michigan, with a 0.15% blood-alcohol level.
Luck once again seemed to be on Allen's side when it came to his sentencing, however, since he only received a single year of probation and no jail time.
5. Christian Slater – Too many crimes to list…
Unlike most of the celebrities on this list, Mr. Slater simply has too many convictions to list next to his name. Most of his many convictions, however, involve alcohol.
Take, for instance, his 1989 drunk driving and assault charge, for which he only spent ten days in jail. (Judges seemed to be a little easier on drunk drivers back in the day…) Then, in 1994, Slater attempted to fly on a commercial airplane with a gun stashed in his luggage (never a good idea) and had to do months of community service as a result.
Things only got worse for Slater when a few years later he was arrested for assaulting his former girlfriend Michelle Jonas and a police officer while intoxicated.
These punishments failed to dissuade Slater, who in 2005 was arrested once again for assault in New York City, after a woman claimed he assaulted her on the street.
It's hard to believe that given Slater's long history of convictions and failure to learn his lesson that this last charge would end with leniency on behalf of the court, but that's exactly what happened. The charges were dropped completely on the condition that Slater "behave" himself for six months.
6. O.J. Simpson – Burglary
Ah O.J. — the center of one of the most infamous crime trials of the past century. Yet we couldn't list "murder" next to his name since although he was charged with the murder of Nichole Brown and Ronald Goldman in 1994, he was acquitted. (Remember "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit"?)
Yet we can list burglary, since Simpson admitted freely to leading a group of burglars in an attempted robbery of the Palace Station hotel and casino in Las Vegas—the goal apparently being the theft of various sports memorabilia.
Bruce Fromong, the man whose room the group of bandits broke into, claimed that the intruders held him at gunpoint while they demanded that the memorabilia be handed over. One could legitimately question the truthfulness of Fromong's testimony, however, since he was a known criminal and drug dealer.
Simpson claimed that he was only trying to "reclaim" items that were initially stolen from him, yet he should probably learn that this is best left to law enforcement, since Simpson was arrested and held without bail for the robbery.
7. Charlie Sheen – Assault and Criminal Mischief
Although Charlie Sheen more recently has made a name for himself as being a bit "kooky" to say that least, he has a long history of criminal behavior.
On Christmas morning of 2009 in Aspen, Colorado, for instance, Sheen was arrested for physically assaulting his then-wife, Brooke Mueller. Sheen eventually pled guilty in 2010 at the request of his lawyers, who knew that Sheen didn't have much of a case.
According to Mueller, Sheen had pinned her down on the bed and threatened to slice her throat, with the official report claiming that Sheen had told Mueller that she "better be in fear," and that if she told anyone about the incident he would kill her. Not the best way to spend Christmas morning.
Attempting to play down the incident, Sheen reportedly told police that although the two had indeed "slapped each other around a bit," he had made no such threat with a knife. Although he did admit to "snapping two pairs of her eyeglasses in front of her," in an attempt at intimidation.
In the end, Sheen was only sentenced to thirty days in a drug rehab center, thirty days probation, and thirty-six hours of anger management. No jail time.
8. Mickey Rourke
Unlike Tim Allen, Mickey Rourke is not much known for his "family-friendly" roles, and is instead known for roles in dark comedies such as "The Pope of Greenwich Village," and horror mysteries such as "Angel Heart".
Yet Rourke's criminal past still may come as a surprise to many. Having been a winning boxer before starting his acting career, it was apparently a bit tricky for Rourke to leave his violent past behind, since in 1994 he was arrested for assaulting his then-wife, Carre Otis.
Rourke adamantly denied the charges—which were eventually dropped—and said instead that Otis' allegations had been brought about as an attempt to further her career.
Regardless of what actually happened, the two seemed to have patched things up. Since although they did eventually divorce, the couple stared together in "Exit in Red" after the alleged incident took place.
9. Ozzy Osbourne – Drugs and Alcohol
This English rocker, who rose to prominence in the 1970s as the vocalist for Black Sabbath, has had more than his fair share of run-ins with the law—due overwhelmingly to his abuse of drugs and alcohol.
Ozzy has said that before he got sober, he spent most of his life getting wasted, and he's claimed that there "must be something wrong with the system if so many people have to get F***ed up" on a regular basis like he does. Perhaps, although there might be better ways of fighting the system, Ozzy.
After being fired from Black Sabbath in 1979, Osbourne reportedly spent the next several months camped out in a hotel room abusing alcohol and a wide variety of drugs, claiming later that he was ingesting so many substances at once, and in such large quantities, that he's surprised he ever survived the ordeal.
In 1984 he seemed to have hit rock bottom, after he was found drunkenly urinating on a memorial honoring those who had died at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.
10. R. Kelly – Child Pornography
No crime is really a "good" crime, although most would agree that some can be worse than others. And, most might also agree that child pornography and having sex with underage girls ranks among the worst.
R. Kelly, the rapper/singer/songwriter whose biggest hit was "I believe I Can Fly", was accused of sexually assaulting a minor when a video surfaced that showed Kelly having sex with, and urinating on, an underage girl.
The sex-tape was twenty-seven minutes long and allegedly made by Kelly himself. However luckily for Mr. Kelly, the prosecution couldn't prove the identity of the girl in the video, even though multiple witnesses testified against him. The lack of identification, along with the fact that there was no testimony from the victim herself, led to the charges being dropped in only a matter of hours.
Although Kelly technically walked free, his reputation was unalterably tarnished by the incident.
11. Jay-Z – Attempted Murder
Jay-Z has a relatively "good" reputation within the world of rappers in that he's managed most of his life to stay out of serious trouble with the law.
We soon forget, however, that Jay-Z was charged with attempted Murder after he went to the Kit Kat Club in Manhattan in 1999, and allegedly stabbed Lance Riviera, a record producer, in the stomach with a five-inch blade. As the story goes, Jay-Z's entourage made a scene to distract the bouncers and other security personnel while Jay-Z could exact revenge on Riviera, whom Jay believed was responsible for leaking his new record.
Jay-Z surrendered to the police the following evening and was eventually released on a $50,000 bail. Pleading guilty only to a misdemeanor, Jay-Z was lucky to have his defense team unveil a video that made it appear he was nowhere near the incident when it took place.
12. Hugh Grant – Sex in public with a prostitute
As is the case with so many celebrities on this list, Hugh Grant is best known for playing the most innocent, kind-natured "good guys" the imagination can conjure. Known for his roles in romantic comedies such as "Notting Hill" and "Mickey Blue Eyes", Grant has been praised by many fans and critics alike for his satirical comedic talents.
Yet Grant's past is somewhat tarnished by the fact that he was arrested for having oral sex in public with a prostitute in Hollywood while filming "Nine Months" in 1995.
Grant pleaded no contest, was fined $1,180, and was placed on summary probation for two years. He was also ordered to complete an AIDS education program.
To his credit, Grant remained incredibly open and transparent about the incident and admitted fully to his wrongdoing—telling Jay Leno (who asked him what the "hell he was thinking" in an interview that took place soon after the incident), "I think you know in life what's a good thing to do and what's a bad thing, and I did a bad thing. And there you have it."
13. Bill Gates – Driving without a license
Relative to the other crimes committed by celebrities on this list, this one is fairly benign.
In 1975, Bill Gates was arrested for driving without a license in New Mexico after he was pulled over for speeding.
Gates, who has been a fan of fast cars his whole life, bought a Porsche 911 in the early 70s and used to race it in the desert on a regular basis, and would rack up multiple speeding tickets—apparently (and understandably) not caring about the large fines that accumulated in the process.
Perhaps on this occasion, Gates was speeding out of glee that he was already quickly on his way to becoming the richest man in the world, having just created the world's first microcomputer. Gates' exponential financial rise also allowed him to quickly post his own bail of $1,000, which he reportedly was able to pull out of his wallet on the spot.
14. Robert Downey Jr. – Drug Charges
Known as one of Hollywood's most illustrious "bad boys" and cunningly talented actors, Downey claims that most of his inspiration and drive has actually been fueled by drug use, and he says that he's been addicted to a wide variety of substances since he was just eight years old.
He once told a judge, "It's like I've got a shotgun in my mouth with my finger on the trigger, and I like the taste of the gun metal."
These addictions led to a large number of arrests and rehab attempts—all of which had apparently been unsuccessful until 2003, when the help of his family, therapy, medication, yoga, and the practice of Wing Chun Kung Fu seemed to pull him away from the brink.
Downey also received a full and unconditional pardon from Jerry Brown, then-Governor of California, for all of his prior drug convictions.
15. Kobe Bryant – Sexual Assault
As one of the world's most celebrated and talented basketball players of all time, it's hard to image that Kobe Bryant would commit an act as terrible as sexual assault, yet this is exactly what one nineteen-year-old girl accused him of in 2003.
As the story goes, Bryant met the young lady, Katelyn Faber, while staying at the Lodge and Spa at Cordillera in Eagle County in 2003, the night before the star athlete was scheduled to have knee surgery.
The girl, who was an employee at the hotel at the time, claimed that she repeatedly told Bryant to stop during sex, and Bryant refused. Bryant, on the other hand, admitted to having sex with Faber (and subsequently cheating on his wife) but denied assaulting her—claiming that the encounter had been consensual.
The lack of evidence, plus the fact that Faber refused to testify in court, led to the charges being dropped. As is almost always the case, however, Bryant's "good guy" reputation took a serious hit.


text: I love this recipe because it makes just 4! A lot of times I want to try a recipe but I don't want to be "stuck" [as if it's a bad thing] with too many leftover temptations…that I will eventually eat [of course.] This small batch cinnamon bun recipe is perfect for a quiet weekend morning when you want to make your brunch extra special. It's also an easier recipe because it doesn't require yeast which means no rising time. I think cinnamon buns are always a good idea so give this simple recipe a try!

The Joy of Reading!
My favourite time as a young child was when I was read to every night. Cuddling under my covers and listening to the expression in my parent's voice as they helped create the magic through the words of that book. It was also fun to trace around the creative drawings and hope that one day, I could draw like that. Then I learnt to read and a whole new world opened up to me. My curious mind wanted to find answers to all the questions I had. I could at last explore libraries and find a quiet corner to enjoy the incredible books surrounding me. As I grew into a young woman, I especially looked forward to going home during the holidays, cuddling up around the fire place and listening to my Mum reading some of our favourite classics. This is a tradition that I continued on with my own children and will do so with my grandchildren one day. Reading has connected my family to the power of knowledge, creativity and let us not forget curiosity.

text: Whether you are buying a new or used car, cost is likely important. However, the amount you pay is not limited to the vehicle itself. It also extends to an insurance policy. What many buyers do not realize is that your San Diego car insurance rates can be affected by dozens of factors, including your age and gender, your driving record, your annual mileage, your credit, and the type and age of the vehicle. For instance, used cars tend to have lower insurance rates because they have a lower value and they also tend to be cheaper to repair. Here are a few other things to consider. Many people assume new cars always have higher insurance rates, but new cars often have more safety features that can lower your rate. For example, anti-lock brakes, daytime running lights, blind spot detection, rearview cameras, and anti-theft systems can also earn you a discount on your insurance premium. If you have a used car, your rate may be higher if you do not have safety equipment. However, some San Diego cheap car insurance policies may offer a discount for adding safety features to a used car. Another important factor that determines your car insurance rate is the risk of your car being stolen. New cars are more desirable, but they are usually equipped with anti-theft devices and GPS tracking. Thieves sometimes target older used cars because they are less likely to have tracking and anti-theft systems. In fact, the National Insurance Crime Bureau found that 7 of the 10 most frequently stolen vehicles in 2010 had a model year between 1991 and 1999. If you buy a new car with a loan or lease, you will probably be required to carry comprehensive and collision coverage. Lenders require these coverage options to protect their investment. Comprehensive coverage is a type of insurance that covers repairs not related to collisions, such as vandalism, theft, hitting an animal, and natural disasters. While comprehensive and collision coverage can increase your insurance rates, it also gives you better protection and pays for repairs. With a used car that is owned outright, you have the option of carrying only liability, which covers damage and injury to other people and drivers. Liability coverage is cheaper than insuring a car with liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage combined, but it won't pay for any damages to your vehicle. Every car has different qualities that can potentially affect your insurance rates. Get in touch with the insurance experts at American Tri-Star to find the right policy to suit your needs. In addition to auto insurance, we also offer affordable motorcycle and RV insurance San Diego drivers trust. Call 619-272-2100 today for a free quote.

Delirium can hurt survey resultsMarch 10, 2014
Delirium can be deadly if not diagnosed and treated. If that should occur, we all know that an Immediate Jeopardy citation is just around the corner. Don't let that happen to you and your residents.
Preventing hospital bounce-backsJanuary 17, 2014
All organizations should be aware of their rehospitalization rate and should be addressing this in their QAPI meetings - why did they go out, what could have been done to prevent it, was there a systems problem, were subtle indicators noted and charted, does a nurse need education, etc?
Delirium: The meaning behind the behaviorDecember 11, 2013
Behaviors are kind of like figuring out a mystery sometimes. And what helped stop a behavior today does not mean it will necessarily work tomorrow. And what may have caused the behavior today may be far more indicative of a serious medical issue - as is the case with delirium — tomorrow.

AtlantiCare Urgent Care Can Provide a Strep Throat Diagnosis for You or Your Child in Berlin, NJ
Receiving a strep throat diagnosis is the first step to feeling better and can only be confirmed by a medical professional. If you think that you or your child has strep throat, you can get the condition properly diagnosed by a board-certified provider at AtlantiCare Urgent Care in Berlin, New Jersey. We treat patients of all ages and provide onsite diagnostic testing services that deliver the answers you are seeking quickly.
A strep throat diagnosis involves certain diagnostic tests and at our clinic in Berlin, NJ, the board-certified provider you see will administer a:
- Rapid antigen test – This is a swab sample from the throat that detects if there are antigens in the throat.
- Throat culture – The back of the throat and tonsils are swabbed to get a sample of the secretions to see if bacteria is presented.
If strep throat is detected, a treatment plan will be developed by the provider you are seeing. This may include certain antibiotics and over-the-counter medications to relieve throat pain and reduce fever. To make your time with us as convenient as possible, we have onsite prescription dispensers that have select medications available to pick up right in our facility. We also electronically process any of the prescriptions our providers write so your medication can be picked up quickly at your pharmacy, if it's not available in our clinic.

Well, it is almost that time — time for trees and trimmings of reds and greens. Time for mistletoe and ribbons of gold!
It is almost Christmas time!
When it comes to Christmas, we all decorate in our own fashion, whether it be traditional, modern, vintage, country, or a mix of our on eclectic tastes.
With this comes our choice of Christmas tree.
As a child, I always had a fake Christmas tree. So, when I entered adulthood and had to do things my way, I opted for the same tradition that I had been accustomed to, until I got married. My husband had always had a real tree and that was the tradition we begun when we started dating 15 years ago. A tradition we kept until about five years ago. Now, we have an artificial tree. Several of them actually. I'm 'that mom' with one in more than one room. I mean, the kids have to have one in their room too, right!?
So, for those who want a real tree, below is a roundup of Christmas tree farms in the Chattanooga area. But before you just hop in the car and go to one of these farms, there are some things to keep in mind:
- First, you need to call ahead. You will want to confirm their supply and the type of trees they have. Also ask if they cut the trees or if you cut them yourself. Also by calling, you can get their hours and find out what kind of activities, if any, they have at the farm. Some farms will do hay rides, sleigh rides, offer hot cocoa, etc., and some may even have Mr. Claus himself.
- You'll also want to ask about which supplies to bring, if any. Items you may need include a saw, blanket, or rope. Also see if they do 'shaking;' this will help with any critters in your tree and drop any dead needles. Some farms may even provide 'baling' for free or for a small fee.
If you can't reach the farm (by phone, email, or website), DO NOT go. Farms will shut down when their supply is gone. Some of the farms that were open last year are not open this year due to last year's drought. Finally, before you head out, don't forget to pack extra clothes, a blanket, some snacks or light meal, drinks, and most importantly, don't forget your camera!

The U.S. Coast Guard offloaded 10 tons of cocaine and 23 kilograms of heroin at Port Everglades on Tuesday.
The drugs, estimated to be worth $300 million, were seized from 14 drug-smuggling vessels in international waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

I love paranormal and historical romance novels. I love talking about books and finding out about new authors and books to read. I also love supporting and promoting my favorite authors.
Please feel free to check out my blog @
This installment was short and moved quickly. I finished it in one sitting. I liked Amber and Cas, and their plot line was enjoyable and entertaining. The conflict and villain were good and there was even a nice twist I didn't see coming. I almost wanted more from their story though I finished not being disappointed. Cynthia Eden told a strong story, though short, and it had everything I like in a romance. Passion, excitement, strong characters, and a good plot and conflict. I enjoyed it and I continue to enjoy the Bad Things series.

Typically, Technomic's ConcepTrac newsletter highlights four concepts featuring a shared characteristic—such as a similar service format or cuisine. The August issue however focuses on a similarity that exists outside restaurant walls. All four of Technomic's featured concepts—Chicken Salad Chick, Honeygrow, MAKE OUT and Naf Naf Grill—are recent recipients of investments from private equity firms. It's no coincidence that these brands are in the fast-casual sector, which continues to remain the industry's top-growing segment and center of innovation. While Technomic's featured concepts are all categorized under different cuisines, they do share the following characteristics that have made them attractive to investors:
- Distinctive Menu—as the fast-casual industry gets more crowded, investors are looking to brands with unique specialties such as Chicken Salad Chick's menu of chicken salads; Honeygrow's healthy stir-fries and snacks; MAKE OUT's vegan takeaway fare; and Naf Naf's Middle Eastern offerings
- Freshness—all four of these featured brands emphasize freshness with features such as open kitchens, made-to-order meals and local ingredients
- Efficiency—from iPad ordering kiosks to packaged grab-and-go items, these concepts know efficiency is key to increasing sales and drawing in more customers
From my perspective, as the fast-casual industry continues to grow, fast-casual eateries will remain a focus for private equity firms and other investors. Brands looking to partner with an investor should exercise caution in making sure to choose a partner that aligns with their values, and not a firm that just wants to capitalize on the lucrative fast-casual segment.
Note: This content originally appeared in the August 2015 issue of Technomic's ConcepTrac newsletter.

On the second day in Galway, we went to the Galway Seafood and Oyster Festival
We only stayed in Galway for the long weekend so we had to make the most of our last day to roam around. On our first day, we took a leisure stroll around the city center and visited a number of attractions around. And in case you missed it, you can read my entry here.
The next day, we woke up to a really gloomy weather. I even checked my weather app to see if things will get better. But to my disappointment, that day was expected to receive showers and gray clouds. That didn't stop us from stepping out, though. We just prepared ourselves by wearing the appropriate outdoor gear to protect us from the rain!
The moment we decided to go to Galway, we made plans to go to the Galway Oyster and Seafood Festival. I am not a fan of oysters (not my thing) but wanted to see what the event is all about. We booked the ticket the day before so we just need to be there at the venue when it opens at 12 in the afternoon.
We got ready earlier than the start of the festival (around 10-ish) but didn't want to wait inside our apartment. So we took off and went back to the city center, hoping to find something open to grab a decent cup of coffee. Unfortunately, since it was a Sunday, it seemed most shops are not open until 11 AM. We were so close to settling for a McDonald's coffee when we stumbled on this trendy cafe called Coffeewerk + Press. I intend to write more in detail about this place in the coming days!
My friend visiting us from Singapore bought some souvenirs while we were drinking coffee. After that, we decided to head towards the festival venue. The weather wasn't looking great either so we thought it was better to seek shelter from the festival tent.
The festival just opened when we arrived. Shortly after arriving, we noticed there were still a lot of empty seats available. We initially wanted to grab a seat closer to the food stalls but there were other prams "parked" around the area.
As always, we grabbed our drinks before thinking about food, LOL. I ordered our drinks and the friendly bartender even helped to carry the 3 pints to our table. He shared some tidbits about Guinness on how to do the proper "pour" as we walked!
My friend ordered fresh oysters since that's the highlight of the event anyway. I didn't taste it but it looked plump and fresh! I also bought more food to share – that was our lunch, too. We enjoyed some squid calamari and chips as well as mussels! Everything tasted great. Especially the mussels – it was so fresh it tasted naturally sweet!
While we were eating, more people arrived and a band started playing. My son loved the band! He's always on the dance floor hopping and dancing to the music. The other kids followed his lead so the dance floor was filled with kids hopping around, HAHA!
I thought my son would spend the entire time on the dance floor. But the kids were slowly outnumbered with a dancing group. They were only disappointed for a very short while, though. Not entirely sure, but it seemed it was a group of professional circus troupe setting up close to our table. They had juggling balls, balance rope, face painting sessions, and hula hoops to keep young kids entertained!
My son was definitely having a blast. We were sitting comfortably while watching him when we noticed he started doing his "thing". We confirmed our suspicions when we smelled something as we approached. My husband is the person in-charge of nappy changing when we are outdoors and he wasn't too pleased with it. The festival only had portable toilets and no diaper changing facilities for kids. He was so close to leaving (our AirBnb apartment was nearby) when we tried talking to one of the people in-charge of the event. She admitted they don't have a designated facility for babies but offered the boot of her car as an alternative. To be honest, I am still in shock how a complete stranger would be so accommodating to us like that. I politely refused initially but seeing as there was no other alternative (and she made the offer a lot of times already), I gave in.
My son was not too happy with the diaper changing experience, though. But that genuine act of kindness towards complete strangers (like us) really left a mark for me! Unfortunately, I did not get the lady's name or took a photo with her. But meeting people like her while on vacation makes the place so memorable in a positive way.
In general, I genuinely felt the locals in Galway are friendly. I just hope the festival would cater for small children and babies in future, though. Especially if they allow them inside the area, having a designated diaper-changing facilities would greatly help parents like us, who don't have a car or only there during the festival.

This blog entry is going to bridge between two lessons in the Believe series, The Bible and Identity in Christ.
I start with our topic this past week (2/5/17), The Bible, which spoke into the pointed need for a Christ-Follower to be immersed in the Word of God. The text and scriptures WILL guide us and shape us and enlighten us. We can find ourselves with paths made straight, and discovering God's character completely by digesting the Word of God. The heart of the sermon and lesson was the oft-repeated mantra: Read Your Bible.
If you wander in the undiscovered or unmapped places of the world, you better have a compass that points true North. When we wander this world of undiscovered temptations and unmapped paths, we better carry something trustworthy and true with us. We cant find our way home without the Story. No amount of spiritualization of our lives will overcome the need for a biblical center.
Which leads us to our second point: Who am I? We have many identifying features we pull out when asked that question: "I'm a ______ (occupation); I'm _______'s child; etc... etc... We keep these labels handy so we can quickly disseminate enough information to another to either find common ground or explain why we're qualified for a specific task.
What identity do we fall to when we're asked a moral question? The "24601" number is a reference to Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. He is faced with just such a moral question. He is a wanted man, having been paroled from a jail sentence, he is marked with the stigma of being a criminal. Pursued by a relentless force bent on imprisoning him again (criminals never change in his eyes), Jean has created a new identity. On to his quandry: He is told that a Jean Valjean has been captured in Paris and will face trial. The real Jean Valjean has the choice: be free, finally, OR do not let an innocent man face the wrath of his poor choices.
The scene from the book/play/movie is amazing and powerful and enlightening. Which would you choose? Is your identity shaped by Christ and his Story? Or are we carving our own paths of moral ambiguity?
I'm 24601.

Volta Centravac central cleaning systems have a range of machines and hose kits to suit all applications. We specialise in ducted vacuum systems, provide the best brand in the market - Volta ducted vacuums (Volta Centravac) .
Apart from the excellent efficiency of the Volta Ducted Vacuum Systems, they are extremely easy to use. Ideally the pipes which connect the inlets to the motor unit would be installed during the process of building. This ensures that the inlets are located in the most convenient and accessible areas. All the materials that are vacuumed up are conveyed along these pipes to the power unit and then using centrifugal force coupled with a floating Gore-Tex self cleaning filter the expelled air is relevantly clean - Filtered down to less than 1 micron.
The power unit remains in the "Ready" mode and as soon as the hose cuff is plugged into one of the inlets the vacuuming will start.
The Volta Centravac power units (motors and P/C Boards) are all covered by a 5 Year Warranty! (Parts and labour). This applies to all machines except the U3500 which still comes with a 2 year warranty.
The hose kits and other components are covered for a period of two years.
The inlets are small and unobtrusive, approximately the size of a power point.
White and Ivory are popular colours but you can also choose from our fashionable metallic option.
The average house will only need two or three inlets. Based on hose lengths and positioning of furniture and house construction. All inlet locations are selected in consultation with you. There is also the possible addition of the handy Vac Pan inlet in the kitchen to vacuum up crumbs without a hose.
Keeping a clean kitchen floor is a daily task with constant debris such as rice, crumbs and cereals. The VACPAN is designed to be installed flush into the kick board of the kitchen cupboards and is easily activated. Simply sweep the debris up to it, flick the switch with your foot and the Volta power unit is started and the floor is clean. Flick the switch again and the unit is switched off. It's a cutting edge central cleaning system.
The VACPAN is available in four colours: white, black, silver and ivory. A stainless steel trim option which can be fixed to any of these four colours is also available should there be a brushed aluminium or stainless steel kicker.
Installation of the Vacpan comes with the option of a flexible hose kit.
The item is not suitable to be installed in a wall but must be installed in a cupboard under the drawers. This ensures access to the unit should any unlikely occurrence require attention.
The VACPAN can be installed also in the bathroom, laundry and ensuite as long as these areas have cupboards with a set of drawers.

How people manage their chronic condition when not under direct medical supervision makes a difference in their quality of life, their health, and their utilization of the health care system—and such self-management can be both time-consuming and complex. While health care providers routinely educate patients about understanding medical conditions, diagnoses, and treatment options, self-management is defined as the tasks that individuals must undertake to live well with 1 or more chronic conditions.1 These tasks include having the confidence to deal with the medical and emotional management of their condition.
Self-management programs are an effective complement to the work provided by clinicians. While variation exists regarding the implementation of self-management programs in terms of program location, staffing, and the extent of personal interaction between self-management coaches and patients, the overall objective of self-management programs is to change behavior.
These changes allow patients to effectively cope with their chronic conditions—many of which can be progressive and debilitating—by learning healthier ways to live, gaining confidence and motivation to manage their health, and feeling more positive about their lives.
Making behavior changes is difficult, and the changes are often hard to maintain. For behavior change to occur, patient education alone is not sufficient. Having the confidence to make the change is critical. This confidence can be translated to self-efficacy—the belief that one is capable of attaining certain goals.
Self-efficacy can be enhanced through specific self-management tools and techniques, such as skills mastery through the achievement of action plans; modeling, which allows self-management program participants to see people like themselves helping others and being successful; reinterpretation of beliefs; and social persuasion. All self-management programs are built on 3 important underlying skills: action planning, problem solving, and decision making. Evidence-based self-management programs stress that for action plans to be effective, they must2,3:
• Reflect what the patient really wants to do
• Be specific about what is to be accomplished, how much, how often, when, and where
• Be realistic in what can be achieved successfully
• Incorporate problem-solving and decision-making techniques that allow for adjustments when issues arise that might interfere with the action plan
The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) is the most extensively tested peer-led self-management program designed to address the needs of persons who have a wide range of chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, arthritis, chronic pain, and HIV infection.2-4 As with all self-management programs, the CDSMP enhances regular treatment and disease-specific education. The program consists of 6 structured small-group sessions that focus on a set of self-management tasks that have been found to be common across chronic conditions, including becoming a better self-manager, increasing healthy behaviors, and using the health care system effectively.
The elements of the intervention, grounded in self-efficacy theory, include regular action planning and feedback, modeling of behaviors and problem solving, reinterpretation of symptoms, and self-tailoring (ie, making your own plans based on what you have learned), so choices are based on the preferences and voice of the patient (see the Table for key subjects covered by the CDSMP).
Self-management and mental health
Efforts to improve the treatment of more common mental health conditions, such as depression, often incorporate elements of the chronic illness care model that support the improvement in self-efficacy.5 By implementing behavioral changes, the patient is better prepared for crises and relapse prevention. Allowing mental health patients to assume a greater role in decision making and self-management is a main theme described by proponents of recovery.
The recovery model is based on understanding personal meaning; attending to personal experiences, contexts, and meanings; building better patient-clinician partnerships; and creating integrated, self-management support structures. Both recovery and self-management stress wellness by removing the blame for the disease or condition from the patient and empowering him or her to take control of his or her life and health. In fact, self-management of psychiatric illnesses has become a central tenet of patient-directed mental health treatment.6,7

Losing a spouse, parent, child, or another close family member is always difficult. A loss can be magnified, however, if the death occurred because of a sudden and ultimately preventable accident. Such accidental deaths are more common than you may imagine; the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention (CDC) reports that accidental injury is the 4th leading cause of death in the United States, resulting in more than 130,000 fatalities on an annual basis.
When another person or party is to blame for a tragic accident, California law gives certain surviving family members certain legal rights. In many situations, those family members can file a legal claim for wrongful death in civil court and seek financial recovery for their losses. While money will never completely make up for your loss, it can help you move forward with fewer financial concerns and with a greater sense of justice regarding the death.
Wrongful death laws in California can be complicated, however, so it's important to have your situation reviewed by an experienced wrongful death attorney if you have tragically lost a loved one. The attorneys at GJEL have a thorough understanding of California wrongful death laws and can help you through every step of your case.
Who can Recover for a Wrongful Death?
California law is very specific when it comes to who has the right to file a claim for wrongful death. For example, while the loss of your best friend may cause you significant emotional pain, friends are not able to seek recovery for a wrongful death in California. The following are the family members who may be able to file this type of claim:
- Spouse or domestic partner;
- Biological or adopted children;
- Stepchildren, if they were financially dependent on the deceased person;
- Parents, if they were financially dependent on the deceased person;
- Parents of a deceased minor or unmarried child; or
- If no one else is eligible, anyone who would be considered an "heir" under California law.
In addition, the personal representative of the estate of the deceased person can file a wrongful death suit on behalf of any of the above qualifying parties. Determining who qualifies to file a wrongful death claim can be confusing and an experienced lawyer can evaluate your position in such a case.
What are the Causes of Wrongful Death?
A "wrongful" death is one that occurs due to the negligence or intentional act of another party. The negligent or wrongful party can be another individual, several people, a corporation, or a government entity. Parties can be negligent or harmful in many different ways and, therefore, each wrongful death case will have a unique set of circumstances with unique legal issues that may arise.
The following are only some examples of common causes of wrongful death in California:
- Traffic-related accidents including crashes involving cars, commercial trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, or pedestrians;
- Falls from heights, on stairs, or serious slip and fall accidents on even ground;
- Accidents in the workplace including motor vehicle accidents, equipment malfunctions or construction accidents;
- Injuries caused by dangerous or defective products, including pharmaceuticals, household appliances, auto parts, child products, and recreational or sports equipment;
- Medical malpractice including birth injuries, misdiagnosis, medication errors and surgical errors;
- Drownings in swimming pools or deaths caused by ocean accidents, boat accidents, or watersporting accidents;
- Burns caused by fires, scalds, or electrocutions; or
- Violent acts such as gunshot wounds, stabbings, or other serious assaults.
Not every accident will give rise to a wrongful death claim, however. If the accident was no one's fault and was unavoidable, the death will not be considered to be legally wrongful. Instead, you must prove that someone was negligent or wrongful in causing the accident. Some examples of negligence can include distracted or drunk driving, failing to maintain a property, selling defective products, and more. Proving negligence can be complex and can require significant evidence. An experienced wrongful death attorney at GJEL Accident Attorneys can help you succeed.
When Should You File a Wrongful Death Claim?
California only gives you a limited amount of time to file a wrongful death claim, so you should avoid delay in discussing a possible case with a skilled attorney. While the law gives you two years to file a lawsuit, these cases can require significant preparation and investigation; it's important to give your legal team sufficient time to prepare a successful claim. For this reason, you should consult with a wrongful death law firm as soon as you think you may have a valid claim.
Benefits of Wrongful Death Claims
Many surviving family members wonder if it is really worth it to go through the legal process of a wrongful death claim. It is always worth considering, as there are many different benefits, including the following:
- Reimbursement for expenses paid for funeral services, and burial costs.
- Compensation for the income your loved one would have earned had they lived and continued working.
- Compensation for lost financial support and household services.
- Compensation for loss of affection, love, guidance, and moral support.
Many damages available in wrongful death cases are intangible and do not have a concrete value attached. Therefore, you need an experienced lawyer who understands how to calculate the full amount of recovery that you deserve in your particular case. The value of a wrongful death case can vary widely from case to case depending on many factors, including the age and health of the victim, dependence of the surviving family members on the victim, and more.
Find out How a California Wrongful Death Attorney can Help You
At the offices of GJEL Accident Attorneys, we understand how difficult and tragic it can be to unexpectedly lose a loved one due to someone else's behavior. We know that your focus should be on your family and your emotional well-being, so we will handle every step of your wrongful death case with as little stress on you as possible.

Find out how to win a copy of this book at the end of this post!
Recommendation: Highly Recommended
Positives: There are so many things I enjoyed about this book. I loved the historical accuracy that is expertly woven into a descriptive story that captures the imagination and stirs the heart. I was very moved by the story of her transformed life, to see her as a young girl whole-heartedly pursue her academics and then come to the realization that she could use the mind God had given her to glorify Him. Lastly, her deep conviction to encourage others to study and understand the Scriptures and to live a pious and holy life in the face of persecution and death is a wake-up call to our American culture.
Negatives: None
Talking Points: There are 2 verses that kept continually coming to mind while reading this story. The first verse is I Cor. 10:31. Olympia learned the value of doing all things to the glory of God. Talk to your children about the gifts, talents, abilities and opportunities that God places in their lives and how all things should be done with our utmost effort in order to give God the glory. Not only should we put forth our best effort, but our best attitude as well. The other verse is II Tim. 3:12. This verse tells us that if we desire to live a godly life, we will be persecuted. What this will look like, we do not know, but we can pray for strength to glorify God in and through whatever persecution we may face. Talk about the persecution faced by Olympia and her family, talk about the fears and doubts that they had at times. Talk about the peace that comes from a life surrendered to Christ in obedience, no matter what the cost. Challenge your children to stand firm in their knowledge and belief in Christ that they too can pass on a flame of passion for His glory to others.
The author has provided some insight into which parts of the story are true and which are fictional. HERE is a link to her blog if you would like to read about this. It is a 4 part series.
